Research summary
AI-generated

Stephen R. Ash's research focuses on treatments for kidney failure, particularly developing sorbent materials and wearable or portable devices that can remove waste products like urea, ammonium, and phosphate from the blood without relying on traditional large dialysis machines. His work also covers managing related conditions such as high potassium (hyperkalemia) and metabolic acidosis in chronic kidney disease patients, and reviewing the history and technology of dialysis equipment.
